Scott Manley (born 31 December 1972) is a Scottish-American engineer (described on his YouTube channel as "Astronomer! Scotsman! Hacker! Gamer! DJ!") who creates Let's Play videos and others, mainly for EVE Online and Kerbal Space Program. The first was his breakthrough; having seen that there was no "Absolute beginners guide to EVE Online, he created one. But it was the second that made his name, becoming the Fandom VIP for Kerbal Space Program. His interest in space games comes out of a wider interest in space and spaceflight, being educated in physics, astronomy and computational physics, which is apparent in his commentary. After a few years of space games and Kerbal fun, his channel mostly pivoted to astronomy and spaceflight news, history and other matters, sometimes still streaming games. Notably, being a video creator is not his living so he can release videos as he pleases. (The day job is software engineering; through the acquisition of his previous employer, he works for Apple.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Thanks to the reputation built by his channel, Anne McCaffrey consulted with Manley on the effects of asteroid impacts while writing The Skies of Pern, determining the orbit of a fictional rogue comet and providing advice on how the event should be portrayed, and he is credited as a consultant on the Netflix movie Stowaway. Director Joe Penna said Manley would go beyond the immediate needs of the script and 'did the math so it would be ready'.

Black Comedy: Some of his offhand remarks have a rather grim tone to them, such as his declaration in episode 23 of Interstellar Quest that he will not pollute space by leaving a remote drone in orbit, instead choosing to pollute Kerbin with the monopropellant and various metals that "will rain to earth and...probably land in some children's playground somewhere"

His real name "Maximillion Powers von Awesomedude" certainly qualifies.

Awesome Mc Coolname: There isn't a much manlier name than Manley. Except maybe DJ SnM note He's called that too. It's his DJ name. It stands for Scott and Manley. His real name "Maximillion Powers von Awesomedude" certainly qualifies.

Action Girl: Not Scott himself, but during his Xenonauts play through he wound up with a solid core of high ranking, skilled female characters. Not quite to Amazon Brigade level, but close on a couple of missions.
